We got the actual email with the interview time on 9/28 (DQ was 9/9). The initial interview date we received was for 11/28, however that was too late for us because my wife had been staying with me in the US on ESTA since 8/24 when my expat assignment in Japan finished and we left Japan together. The Tokyo Embassy does have a form online to request a change to the interview date - we explained the situation in detail and they gave us 10/19 as the earliest date they could. I would note that for most people less than 3 weeks between the interview letter and the actual date might be too tight because you will also need to schedule the medical check and possibly receive additional vaccinations. For us this was not an issue as my wife completed the medical appointment back in July (prior to DQ) because we did not want any delay whatsoever.

FYI we just got our interview date yesterday for 11/28 which is okay, but honestly a little later than we were hoping for. I know it probably won't work, but I contacted the embassy asking for an earlier date. Fingers crossed...

Anyone else have any experience with this lately? We have 9/9 DQ for Tokyo.

I hope not. We were DQ'd on 9/9 and are now just waiting to hear about our date..

We started submitting documents on June 25th and finished on July 7th with the I-864EZ.

Last submission July 7th and got DQ last evening Sept 9th.

That's very good to know, thank you so much!

Hello everyone, My wife's CR1 case is now at the NVC and we are currently waiting for our AOS/IV fee payment to process. One big question I have is whether the embassy will contact us by email or mail (or both)? Our apartment lease is scheduled to end in August which depending on our luck could be right around the time we are DQ. I'm worried about the possibility of missing mail from the embassy while we are in the process of changing addresses. I have been searching through this thread, but I couldn't find an answer to this.

Hello everyone! First time poster. PD: August 15th 2021 NOA2: June 14th 2022 NOA1 was for Potomac, but approval was from Texas.
